[post_page_title]There were clashes from day one[/post_page_title]
Kathleen Kennedy, Lucasfilm’s president, had previously hired directors who were less experienced to direct previous Star Wars films such as Rogue One and The Last Jedi. But for Solo production, the seasoned directing team of Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, who are responsible for hits like The Lego Movie, 21 Jump Street, and dozens of other movies, were hired. They were much more experienced, and were thus much less willing to compromise on their way of doing things. Reportedly, there were clashes right from the start between the directors and Kennedy, who was said to be very hands-on in the production. As a source inside the production said, “She didn’t even like the way they folded their socks.”
